I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 452 - 243: True and False Descendants

"Greetings to the Heartless Mother!"

The crowd rose to their feet and bowed, with Ning Zheng blending in and bowing as well.

Clearly, Ning Zheng had chosen the right moment to arrive.

It was just in time for the great battle of the Capital City and the leaking of the Imperial Mausoleum.

This No-Life Sect Sub-Branch at the Capital City’s current situation probably holds more prestige than even the main branch.

This Heartless Mother scanned the surroundings, her gaze landing on the aura-rich Ning Zheng, showing a trace of surprise, and then said coolly:

"You all hail from ancient imperial tombs... Where are the current high-ranking members of the No-Life Sect?"

From the crowd, a high-ranking member of the No-Life Sect gradually emerged, a tall woman in a black robe, "Greetings, Ancestor! I am the Seventh Elder of the contemporary No-Life Sect!"

Ning Zheng’s expression revealed something unusual.

All present were dead.

That woman should be the only other living person besides himself!

The current No-Life Sect sent the Seventh Elder attempting to communicate with these ancient ancestors, seeking to recognize the ancestral line.

They sought to ride the momentum. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The current No-Life Sect is not strong.

They have already recoiled into the Xinyi Continent.

At its peak, it was a large Demon Sect spanning the Nine-State, a major threat to the Court, even showing signs of rebellion several times!

Meanwhile, they have a long history, sending secret members into the imperial tombs to accompany the buried, now emerging from the Painted Wall, banding together as a formidable force.

"Are the current elders that weak?"

This Heartless Mother frowned quietly: "Only the level of Great Perfection in the Two-Phase Realm remains?"

"Truly, it’s a disgrace to us elders. How did our Holy Sect turn into this under your hands?"

A vast aura pressed down, like tumultuous waves, seemingly about to crush this elder alive.

The elder fell to their knees with a thud, not daring to make a sound, pleading:

"The rise of Jiu Shui Saint saw the unprecedented concentration of imperial power, ruthless in suppression, forcibly quelling various sects, heavily oppressing us!"

"Moreover, for our No-Life Sect to adapt to the changing times, the Spiritual Root has been transformed from Innate to Postnatal, researching the Dharma Method of Planting Spirit Root."

"However, developing a Postnatal Spiritual Root Cultivation Technique is very difficult, and it was only 30,000 years ago that we began to truly get on track."

"Thus, there was a certain degree of discontinuity, with the number of Sect Leaders far less compared to the era before the Xin Dynasty’s Innate Mythology."

"Not only us, it’s the same for other sects as well!"

"Some formerly prosperous and ancient sects, like the Selfless Sect... were directly wiped out! They did not even qualify to carry on into this era of Postnatal Spiritual Roots."

This Heartless Mother, hearing this, her expression shifted several times, "The Selfless Sect, gone?"

That was a sect that was not weaker than theirs, with immense power, even stronger by a significant margin!

Selfless.

Those two words were even a psychological shadow in many ancient tombs, changing color at the mention.

Such a powerful sect, gone now?

The Heartless Mother smiled coquettishly, with joy:

"Gone, good! Gone, good! Having fought them for countless generations, they are finally no more! Indeed, in this world, the one who lives the longest wins!"

"We hid in the tombs, and now that we’ve come out, we’ve outlasted them!"

Ning Zheng: "..."

The whole world is fond of this strategy.

I’m not dead, I’m hiding in the tombs, outliving my enemies to emerge again!

At this moment, the Heartless Mother also no longer harbored anger towards the words of this contemporary elder.

Indeed, there was some truth!

They have perished, and we have only declined, clearly still stronger by contrast, for their mere accumulation over these few hundred thousand years is no match against the past.

This Heartless Mother showed a trace of caution:

"Such a weak emerging era, it seems Jiu Shui Saint alone elevated the entire epoch’s level."

"It’s fortunate he’s dead!"

The Heartless Mother sighed long, looking at the surrounding believers, she finally returned to the main topic, sincerely:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our No-Life Sect has a long and rich history."

"The No-Life Sect, throughout history, has been committed to overthrowing imperial power and establishing a great era of equality and superior birth for all!"

"We were founded in the early days of the Longevity Dynasty, we were rebels at heart, allies with grand aspirations, and overthrew imperial power with the Longevity First Emperor, but ultimately they ambushed us, their ally, during the battle of the Capital City, so we lost, and he founded the Longevity Dynasty."

Saying this, the ancestor showed a trace of sorrow:

"Our ancestor sought to kill such a traitor, to kill Longevity, hence the name... No-Life!"

The Hairpin Ladies from Ning Zheng’s perspective listened in silence.

These rebels favored advantageous names.

For example, to eradicate the Yuan Dynasty, hence the name Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Heartless Mother continued:

"And later, the ungrateful Longevity Dynasty perished, our era emerged once more, we stirred up the Rebel Army again in chaotic times, to pacify the disorder."

"But this time, our war with the Xin Dynasty’s First Emperor still ended in defeat. We lost to that Ancestor Xin, but we remained undaunted, during the Xin Dynasty era, we were known as... the Heartless Mother."

"Now in your era, defeated again by Jiu Shui, this generation’s title for the No-Life Mother should be called, Wusui Mother, is that correct?"

The Seventh Elder hastily said: "Precisely so, precisely so!"

Ning Zheng frowned subtly.

In his mind, those Hairpin Ladies were whispering.

"This generation’s No-Life Sect Leader, Wusui Mother, utterly unscrupulous."

"Unable to defeat Jiu Shui, her sole achievement during her tenure as Sect Leader was probably just adopting a rebellious name—that she would end time, yet desires a maternal bond?"

"Indeed, indeed!"

"Are weaklings capable of acknowledging these mothers? Those are our mothers!" one Hairpin Lady cried, furious, though Ning Zheng was unsure why she was so upset.

One Hairpin Lady sneered: "Their lineage is counterfeit, ours alone deserves such ancient ancestors!"

"Hah, I can already predict the upcoming plot, we will make it clear to the other side."

"The weak are unworthy of having parents!"

"We are the true orthodox of this era’s No-Life Mother!"

Ning Zheng listened to the Hairpin Ladies’ rebellious remarks, rendered speechless for an instant.

Do they intend to serve these ancestors and begin acknowledging mothers?

Are they setting the stage for authenticity versus imposters?

Ning Zheng sighed a long breath, suddenly standing up.

The crowd turned to look, curious as to what this always taciturn follower intended to do.

Ning Zheng glanced at the living representative, the Seventh Elder, saying in a calm tone:

"Esteemed Daoists from ancient No-Life Sect, do not be deceived by them. These juniors only know how to plot against each other, making such a joke of our grand No-Life Sect!"

The crowd remained silent, quietly observing the live elder.

The elder immediately explained urgently: "Esteemed ancestor, you don’t understand the affairs of this era..."

This elder could also sense the aura of death on Ning Zheng, like a Three Flowers possessed, possibly similar to those Four Flowers, Five Flowers ancestors who emerged from ancient tombs.

Thus, she continued her explanation earnestly.

"Deception within and concealment outside, the sect has become so filthy now, only knowing internal strife and trying to cover up the past?"

With a cold glance, Ning Zheng swept his eyes over the area, and said, "It’s true that Evil Sects naturally engage in internal strife. There’s no doubt about that." As his gaze fell upon a circle of ancestors, he continued, "In this generation, I’ve nurtured a new branch of the No-Life Sect, right here in Continent City of the Xinyi Continent."

The Seventh Elder sent from the living faction was left agape, incredulous.

The ancestors, who had been out for just a single day, showed clear astonishment.

They had known for a day, about the great matters of the No-Life Sect in that battle of Continent City in Xinyi.

"She is my disciple."

"I have guided her from the shadows," Ning Zheng said, his aura unfolding, and suddenly above his head appeared a Six Flowers...

The appearance of a complete three suggested a complete soul. In other words, the embers-person before them...

Was an awakened No-Life Sect... Ghost King!

To think our sect possessed such an existence, who had secretly awakened??

The Seventh Elder, sent by the living, gaped, unable to believe it.
